African Food Systems in Crisis: Part One: Microperspectives

African food systems in crisis part one – microperspectives, produced by the task force on African famine of the American Anthropological Association, is the first of a multi-part project dealing with the long-term and ongoing food crisis in Africa primarily at the level of local production – the microperspective. It offers a series of anthropological and ecological views on the cause of the current problem and on coping strategies used by both indigenous people and developmental planners.
